Turning cortical activity into speech using deep learning.
Pretty cool.
Some ways to go but still pretty cool.

Is the speed of our speech limited by the mechanical constraints of our articulatory apparatus, or is it limited by the speed of our speech-generating cortex?
If it is the former, people with speech-production implants may, one day, be able to speak faster than non-equipped people.

AI was 94 percent accurate in screening for lung cancer on 6,716 CT scans, reports a new paper in Nature, and when pitted against six expert radiologists, when no prior scan was available, the deep learning model beat the doctors: It had fewer false positives and false negatives.
